SB Final UL 4, McNeese 5

Didn’t Minnesota not host 2 years ago and they were like 55-3 or something crazy

A note I found from the selection committee....

A day or two after the seedings were released, the NCAA Selection Committee released a statement to explain why the nation’s top-ranked club did not merit one of 16 seeded spots. “When the committee compared Minnesota against other teams being considered for the top 16 seeds, Minnesota did not have as many regular-season Top 10 and Top 25 wins as compared to other teams,” the statement read in part. “The teams that were selected as the 16 seeds had at least one or more Top 10 wins and between four to 18 Top 25 wins. Minnesota did not have any Top 10 wins and only two Top 25 wins.

“Furthermore, Minnesota’s strength of schedule was 114,” the statement said. “The top seeded teams had strength of schedules ranging from 1 to 36.”

For reference our SOS is currently 90.

Telling the girls they have to run the table is a little unusual for a coach. Most stress, one game at a time.

True. I think part of it is him wanting to be real with the girls, though. And the way I’m reading a couple of his quotes this morning, I think he’s almost admitting that he has contributed to the stress.

That's one way to look at it, but they still crapped their pants tonight. Bad softball.

Agreed, a very poorly played game against a weaker opponent. I also wish Glasco would trust the other pitchers and not go with Summer every game, especially when she didn't have her best stuff like last night.

He better find one, or keep letting Boswell pitch as she has done well. One pitcher won't get him out of a good regional.

I think our defense suffers a little because he moves players around too much. I understand he wants to get the hot bats in the game but you gotta play the same position everyday for it to become second nature.

Why not let Boswell pitch and hit? She has done both well.

Could we actually finish with 4 losses and not host?? If so this sport has issues. We should be thinking hosting supers with 4 losses. I don't give a damn what conference we're in, thats a joke.

Our schedule is weak point blank.

Absolutely spot on. Everybody has a bad day, even a coach. To me yesterday was the day to pull her after a shaky start and give the mound to a youngster. He could have always returned her to the mound if needed. All in all though, they are still a talented bunch.

My magic 8 ball says “This is true”.

Outside Cal, Baylor and Oregon State, who we beat or will play that might move the needle upward?
